<div class="paragraph Body" style="line-height: 14pt; "><span>In </span><span style="font-style: italic; line-height: 14pt; ">George Meredith: A Bibliography</span><span>, Michael Collie describes the 1859 Chapman and Hall first edition as containing “glazed primrose endpapers.” In addition to the “greenish-brown cloth” of the copies he saw (like the UVA and Heritage copies mentioned above), he also lists a variant binding of “reddish-brown cloth, with a blind-stamped variant decoration on the front and back covers and without the publisher’s name at the foot of the spine” as well as a copy in “grey cloth” noted by M. Buxton Forman in his bibliography (Collie 19).</span></div>
<div class="paragraph Body" style="line-height: 14pt; ">Collie writes “some copies of the first edition of Volume III have 16 pages of advertisements at the end, dated 1 July 1859. One such copy is in the Berg” (19). The Heritage copy is the only one I know of to date that contains earlier ads. </div>
